I'm not home to watch daytime TV and most TV rots the brain. I can't afford to lose what little gray matter I have left so just as I have not watched Oprah, I won't be watching her replacement.
TV rots the brain
Exactly! The quality of programming has hit fertilizer stage and is responsible for the brain rot that has set in around the world.
I got rid of cable years ago, hire dvds for the films I want to watch and spend very little time watching anything else.
To me, modern television = noise and visual pollution that is dangerour to one's mental wellbeing and upsets the harmony in my personal space.

I had cable installed 3 years ago -
& told them to turn it off & take it away 2 month`s after they turned it on.
I had no idea it had gotten that bad.
I watch all my vintage tv favorites on U-Tube now days such as
1. Leave it to beaver
2. I love Lucy
3. The waltons
4. All in the family
& the list goes on .
U-Tube has all the great tv shows I love & remember & its all free.

I think Oprah should be replaced with the two gay guys from the sitcom Modern Family!
why not replace Oprah...
Can I choose 'neither of these please?
Why not replace Oprah with instructional television giving people "life survival" skills?
How to balance a checkbook.
How to do simple repairs around the house
How to plan a balanced meal, cook it and 'eat cheap'
Oh yes, and how about things on 'let's talk about how to read and write'
etc.
Of course, this would never sell.

That one hour slot that will never be filled by ABC efficiently, no matter who they put there unless they increase news coverage or rotate old shoes like I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, etc...
I sometimes catch the late night reruns of Oprah, unintentionally, of course.
I can't say I really care if the show comes or goes, or who replaces Oprah. Oprah strikes me as a very nosy and persistent woman who manages to stay neutral on any really controversial subject and not alienate her guests. The perfect TV talk show host. I don't think Rosie O'Donnell would fit the bill - too controversial. But who knows? It's not like I'll be watching (intentionally) anyway.
I understand Conan is out of work...
